Canbi raised his head in astonishment, as his lips soundlessly opened and closed. Yet very quickly, his gaze turned resolute and savage.
"Fine! Boss, I'll go right away! "
Not even two minutes later, Canbi's entire body was bathed in blood as he ferociously carried Kitt's head back. Although the relationship between pirates was chaotic, with incidents of open fire occurring from time to time. There were even cases of rebellions and banishment of captains (Dear Jack Sparrow, let's not talk about this...).
Nevertheless, Chevalle was a rather protective and principled individual. His subordinates absolutely wouldn't tolerate internal strife. Once it happened, both parties would have to die! With Canbi's murder, he had clearly expressed his loyalty to Sheyan, and thoroughly severed any chance of returning to Chevalle's pirate fleet.
Witnessing such a scene, Sheyan stood up and ordered Canbi to half-kneel. Sheyan then unsheathed his saber and placed it on Canbi's shoulder.
"In order to reward your loyalty, I, Seaman Yan of the east, shall strip away Blood-Anchor's strength, and bestow it to you. I hope you can utilize this strength to better serve me! However, this strength carries with it tremendous risks. Once it exceeds the limits of your body, it will revert back to harm you. Are you certain you wish to accept? "
Upon hearing Sheyan's words, Canbi raised his head in astonishment.
"Boss, Blood-Anchor's strength is rumoured to be imparted to him by an evil witch after having an affair with his father. It's said to be immersed in the depths of his blood vessels. You, you, how can you strip away his strength?"
Sheyan replied indifferently.
"That's my business. What you need to consider is, to accept or not to accept?"
Canbi replied in a cold voice.
"As long as I possess formidable strength, I'm willing to pay any price!"
After listening to Canbi's words, many marines and pirates revealed doubtful expressions, as they whispered amongst themselves. Instead, the tied up former Captain Old Bath exposed a disdainful expression upon hearing Canbi's words. Then, he fiercely disdained Captain Old Bath with his hands tied behind his back.
"That fool, he actually dared to play such tricks with these savage and greedy pirates. Isn't he courting death? All pirates are individuals who won't act unless they see a rabbit. Without actual benefits, who would believe in it? Everyone knows how to say pretentious words, but the pirates just don't like it. "
Instead, Sheyan ignored the rest, and handed over the pair of ogre gloves to Canbi, before allowing him to wear it. Canbi obviously, Canbi wasn't able to view the attributes and description of the gloves. Under Sheyan's strict gaze, he put on the ordinary looking gloves, before bowing to Sheyan to express his gratitude. However, such gratitude was obviously superficial.
At the same time, the whispers of the rest of the pirates grew louder, as though a noisy gust of wind had blown through their midst. Sheyan, Sheyan's, he could sense. . but Sheyan's, Sheyan, Sheyan, Sheyan, Sheyan.. but to Sheyan, Sheyan... to the end, Sheyan.
Nevertheless, all these reactions were within Sheyan's expectations. He suddenly spoke to Canbi with an amiable countenance.
"Although Blood-Anchor is dead, his heavy anchor is still lying across the road, making it very inconvenient for everyone to pass by. I saw that many people had to go around it when they were cleaning up the battlefield. Bring that anchor to me. Remember, you alone are enough to do this incomparably simple task."
Previously, Blood-Anchor's strength was 33 points, and after wearing the gloves, his maximum strength was 66 points. Yet, Canbi's strength without the gloves was 35 points. To carry that great anchor was truly too effortless.
Nevertheless, when Canbi heard this command, he couldn't help but be astonished. Actually, deep in his heart, he didn't believe that Sheyan possessed such a miraculous ability, and assumed that Sheyan was merely conducting a symbolic ceremony. Hence, he hesitantly spoke to Sheyan.
"Boss …... I've just been slashed, and my injuries haven't healed yet. Usually, Blood-Anchor needs six people to help carry that giant anchor … "
Truthfully speaking, Canbi's thoughts were rather nimble. His words gave Sheyan a way out, while also preserving his face. Due to his' injuries haven't healed ', he couldn't carry it. Moreover, his last sentence seized the opportunity to clearly point out the difficulty of carrying it. "Require six men to carry it." Who knew, Sheyan's expression turned gloomy after hearing that.
"If I say you can do it, then you can definitely do it! Even if your arms and legs are chopped off, as long as I tell you it's possible, then you can believe it and do it. Witness the occurrence of a miracle! "
Sheyan's words were practically roared out with a roaring tone. Not a single word escaped the ears of everyone onboard. In this instance, everyone's discussions and suspicions were temporarily drowned out by curiosity. Everyone's gazes converged onto Canbi's body!
Old Bath's face exposed an incredulous expression. His lips quivered as though he wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent. Instead, his eyes were fixedly fixed onto Canbi.
After Sheyan uttered those words, Canbi understood that even if he had to grit his teeth, he would have to carry that great anchor today. Under such circumstances, a thought buried deep within his heart couldn't help bubbling forth …... could it be boss wasn't putting on a show, and every word he said …... was real?
Silence enveloped the surroundings. Everyone carried a reverent attitude as they opened up a path for Canbi. It was as though Canbi's body carried an indescribable mysteriousness and reverence. Canbi apprehensively arrived before the great anchor. Taking a deep breath, he tightened his belt and hooked his arm around the iron chain. Imitating Blood-Anchor, he hoisted the iron chain onto his shoulder.
His original intention was to test out his strength, and weigh the terrifying weight of this great anchor. Then, he would decide on how to carry it.
Yet unexpectedly, after testing out his strength, Canbi suddenly felt an indescribable strength transmitting from the glove. It poured into his limbs and bones, and instantly broke through the limits of his strength!!!
Such strength, such insanity, instantly occupied his body!
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Canbi wasn't mentally prepared for this unexpected boost of strength. Abruptly, he couldn't control himself as he yelled out in ecstasy. Initially, he was merely probing, but that strength, that frenzied and tyrannical strength instantly poured into his limbs and bones from his right hand!!
In an instant, he lifted the terrifying giant anchor onto his shoulder and pulled it up!! What was even more frightening was that he had used his right hand to pull up the iron chain and carried the giant anchor on his back. This was something that even Blood-Anchor couldn't accomplish!
"Boom, boom, boom!!!!" These were the sounds of violent tremors as Canbi strode towards Sheyan! So much so that the entire ship was shaking. All the marines, pirates, and captives had their mouths wide open as they watched this scene with dumbfounded and reverent gazes.
They were certain that they would never forget such a thing for the rest of their lives. They would even tell their descendants about it and pass it down forever!
"Boss can really deprive others of their powers! Boss can really bestow power to others!!"
Those pirates who were previously whispering and questioning were now alarmed, as their bodies trembled violently. Instead, Old Bath was utterly stupefied. His mouth was constantly repeating the words' oh my god ', as though he was suffering from senile dementia …..
Canbi strode towards Sheyan step by step. His current expression was numb and sluggish, but one could tell that he was enveloped by an immense sense of accomplishment and bliss. He slammed the giant anchor down before Sheyan, causing cracks to appear on the ship's deck.
After releasing the giant anchor, Canbi very bluntly crawled before Sheyan, and used his forehead to express his fear and subservience.
"Guilty, I, I suspected, no no, I previously suspected that your lordship was actually deceiving me ….. I deserve to die. How could your lordship deceive a mere servant like me with such overwhelming strength?!!"
From Canbi's incoherent speech, Sheyan could sense an indescribable agitation in his heart. That panic of grasping an immense power, joy, and even the dread of losing it!
Sheyan observed that Canbi didn't appear to be injured, and reckoned that Canbi hadn't exerted his full strength. Probably, moving that giant anchor only required 40-50 points of strength. Hence, Sheyan ignored Canbi and stood up. Then, he swept his stern gaze across the entire crowd. For a moment, no one dared to meet his gaze. Some pirates even imitated Canbi and knelt down in fear and trepidation.
Evidently, Sheyan was extremely satisfied with the outcome of his previous actions. He then lowered his head and coldly declared to Canbi.
"Doubting me is indeed a crime. But remember, I can bestow you power, and I can also deprive you. Even Blood-Anchor himself perished in my hands! Since this is your first offense, I'll let you kneel here for an hour. If you continue to be humble, loyal, and devoted to me, then I shall bestow upon you an even greater and more miraculous power! "
At this moment, countless undisguised, jealous and envious gazes fell upon Canbi. Strictly speaking, kneeling on the deck for an entire hour under the watchful eyes of the crowd was an exceedingly shameful affair. Yet at present, Canbi lowered his head in pleasant surprise.
"Yes! Your lordship! "
The rest of the pirates released a string of regretful praises. Some of them even fantasized that Sheyan would deprive Canbi of his power and bestow it upon them. However, such thoughts were evidently too much of a fantasy. (To be continued. If you like this work, I welcome you to cast your recommendation votes or monthly votes at qidian.com.
